Hi Dave. Will Eurosport 1 or 2 be repeating this. Tuned in last night and sat watching tennis for an hour. Their schedules are all to cock. I only got Sky installed last week so I could watch this event. It seems to me that it is all about Eurosport HD which I didn't get. Daren't tell the Missus I want yet another payment channel, she'll get a gun out. Pretty scandalous tho

Not only was it a wonderfully skilled 147, it almost turned to pure lunacy as he was on his way to 147 in the next frame! What was it, 10 reds and blacks? Ronnie is a born entertainer. Thank you Rocket.

Now I hope Hendry can get his 11th soon and have this race continue on.

Unbelievable skill from the rocket.I thought it was over on the 13 red but he just got down and potted it and then the 15 red a spell binding positional shot and as Jamie Brannon said all done at a tournament that carries the name of another great crowd pleaser.

What's with the Eurosport coverage?Somebody needs to get their act together because it's dire.The fans are not very pleased and it would be interesting to know what the WSA think about it.They must have some influence on the scheduling otherwise the contract is not worth the paper it's written on.It keeps happening, time and time again and it's so damn frustrating to be left hanging in this way.It seems to me like the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

The first poster hasnt a clue about the game.so in your opinion only maxis or centuries from ranking events should count so how about a 147 in the masters ?.that shouldnt count because its a non ranking event iyo.maxis and centuries cover all pro events not just rankers. i never heard such nonsense.

With super-fast cloths and shot clock events, it is pretty clear which side of the coin snooker adheres to. If anything, Mark Selby over-compensates for the disadvantage he faces; it's not pleasant to watch, but you can't blame him for it really, the guy is just trying to earn a crust. At least Barry Hearn knows he can count on him to turn up to events.

Yeah to the earlier poster, Eurosport's coverage is shoddy, no frills, and a bit of a joke really. I know it's compromising Dave who is a fantastic journalist and a great commentator, but the station he works for provides nothing to entertain the arm chair viewer really.

Ability isn't genius. Genius is creative intelligence: producing a line of thought that is without precedence. There are several sportsmen who have displayed this quality, but O'Sullivan isn't one of them.

seriously! I noticed that whenever there's a mention of ROS in any blog the number of comments is exponentially larger than any other player. I WONDER WHY!

12:48 AM----------------------it might be because:

hes brilliant at snooker and his play is something to behold

and also / or

he is out of order with referees at timeshe pulls out last minute of tournaments...he feels unwell a lot of times come flight time.he asks for oral sex at press conferenceshe does many many other things that people dislike (and many can see through his great play to speak up about it)

maybe?

but then, i am sure you know all that about him and are just too blinkered to repeat it and just want to comment on his play.

pity when ROS fans slag a player off for playing slow (well slower than ROpeedygonzalezS) its ok.
